sense of humor. There's no guarantee that you'll change your status over the next few<br />

months at least but if you do, you can be sure that the person you're getting involved<br />

with is a genuinely compatible partner. Hestia won't let you fall for anyone else. And<br />

if there's no such c<strong>and</strong>idate in the offing? Hestia will keep you so still, comforted <strong>and</strong><br />

self possessed that frankly, you really neither mind nor care.<br />

Aphrodite<br />

Aphrodite<br />

Introduction:<br />

Aphrodite, known <strong>to</strong> the Romans as Venus, is the goddess who needs no<br />

Introduction. We only have <strong>to</strong> hear her name <strong>to</strong> see, in our mind's eye, a vision of<br />

<strong>to</strong>tal loveliness in a seductive state of undress. Aphrodite is though, far more than just<br />

a siren. She is a goddess of doves, swans, roses, apples, arts, crafts <strong>and</strong> all things<br />

graceful, inspired <strong>and</strong> creative.<br />

Boticelli's Birth of Venus, commonly called 'Venus on the half shell' accurately<br />

reflects the myth of Aphrodite. She emerged as a nymph from the waves <strong>and</strong><br />

immediately drove almost every male god wild with desire. A half sister of Hestia <strong>and</strong><br />

Hera, her father was Cronos <strong>and</strong> her mother (depending on whether you believe the<br />

poet Homer or Hesiod) was either a sea nymph or a daughter of a rather complicated<br />

act of union with the ocean itself!<br />

Aphrodite was very much a free goddess. She suffered no great traumas nor did she<br />

ever feel obliged, for long, <strong>to</strong> restrain her appetites - which by all accounts, were as<br />

impressive as her looks. It is wrong <strong>to</strong> take all this <strong>to</strong>o literally <strong>and</strong> judge her as<br />

amoral. Her free <strong>and</strong> easy lifestyle is far more appropriately interpreted as a symbol of<br />

the way in which the passion <strong>and</strong> fulfillment of artistic creativity is eternally<br />

available <strong>to</strong> everyone!<br />

If you're not currently having the time of your life you can expect it <strong>to</strong> commence<br />

any day now. The goddess of love <strong>and</strong> beauty is at work in your life - <strong>and</strong> soon, your<br />

world is never going <strong>to</strong> be quite the same again. You don't consider yourself<br />

beautiful? You're all <strong>to</strong>o painfully conscious of certain 'imperfections' in your<br />

appearance? Think again. We are not talking here about the kind of artificial, skin<br />

deep beauty that make up artists excel at. Regardless of your shape or size, you're<br />

beginning <strong>to</strong> exude a magnetic charisma which, if you allow it <strong>to</strong> express itself fully,<br />

will make you more attractive than any Supermodel <strong>and</strong> a more desirable conquest, in<br />

the eyes of most men, than all five Spice Girls in one fell swoop.<br />

A conquest however, is the one thing you're most definitely not going <strong>to</strong> be. Nobody,<br />

but nobody, ever talks Aphrodite in<strong>to</strong> anything she doesn't want <strong>to</strong> do. Nor do they
